What percentage of the riding public owns a light? I do, because I often ride after dark, but this event is meant as a fund raiser for an organization, which means they want a significant number of riders.

Edited to add: This organization is NOT the same thing as the 100 Club, which helps the families of slain police officers and firefighters. In fact, the rank and file HPD officers generally have no idea what the Houston Police Foundation does. I had never heard of them, myself, before this event was announced. According to the brochure, "Your participation and donations will fund equipment and training for the Houston Police Department."
There were a few thousand people at the Moonlight Ramble back in November (October?)
Plenty of people have lights.
